          I agree with your conclusion.<br>
          <br>
          As you note, the .int TLD is quite well identified other than
          for the<br>
          international databases:  there is no ambiguity in scope for

          If I have understood correctly, international databases were
          transferred to<br>
          be included under .arpa some long time ago.<br>
          <br>
          Either way, I see no reason why .int should be opened up
          beyond<br>
          organizations established by international treaty at this
          stage and<br>
          certainly not without a properly constituted policy
          development process<br>
          (which would need to establish a process for appointing a new
          operator).<br>
          <br>
          None of this, of course, nullifies your conclusion!<br>

          The only reference is descriptive rather than policy setting.
          .INT predates<br>
          RFC1591.<br>
          <br>
          It says, simply &quot;This domain is for organizations established
          by<br>
          international treaties, or international databases&quot;. (The
          latter term is<br>
          undefined, but includes telephony applications).<br>
          <br>
          You will find this text alongside all the other (at the time)
          existing<br>
          generic domains as follows.<br>
          <br>
          Much of what is written below has been changed, and much of
          what has been<br>
          changed was changed outside ICANN.<br>
          <br>
          I would be interested to know which policy decision classified
          some of the<br>
          gTLDs in this list as &quot;dehors ICANN&quot;, and which within.<br>
          <br>
          But as two of the gTLDs described in RFC 1591 are currently
          extremely<br>
          sensitive (MIL and GOV),from what I heard in the Senate
          hearing, perhaps its<br>
          best not to ask for an answer to this until after the end of
          the month??<br>

                     educational service organizations, and educational
            consortia<br>
                     have registered here.  More recently a decision has
            been taken<br>
                     to limit further registrations to 4 year colleges
            and<br>
                     universities.  Schools and 2-year colleges will be

               ORG - This domain is intended as the miscellaneous TLD
            for<br>

            <br>
               GOV - This domain was originally intended for any kind of
            government<br>
